Hello and welcome to Hanoi Travel Tips! I created this website because I am fascinated by Hanoi myself, and also because I want to take you to explore it from the comfort of your computer. Now you can discover Hanoi and get to know more about all its fascinating sights, as though you are going there yourself. And you won't need to leave your desk. If you visit all the sights in this website, you will probably have seen more of Hanoi than people who go there on a short vacation.

With Hanoi Travel Tips, I am not writing a travelogue. This website is not intended to document my travels. Rather it reflects my desire to know everything about Hanoi, and to share my discovery with like-minded enthusiasts.
